Get the Facts
Get the facts about the Stupak-Pitts Amendment and stay up to date with NOW's latest actions -- like the rally in Pennsylvania this Saturday!

NOW to Rally in Pitts' Pennsylvania District to Denounce Stupak-Pitts Amendment
"Once again, women's reproductive rights are under attack in this country," said NOW President Terry O'Neill. "Anti-choice legislators are using health care reform as an opportunity to further restrict women's access to abortion.

Tell Your Senators to Vote Against 'Hyde on Steroids'
The Senate may be voting on a "Hyde on steroids" amendment similar to Stupak-Pitts that would prevent millions of women from obtaining insurance coverage for abortion under health care reform. Floor debate begins next week, so take action NOW!

NOW Urges the Obama Administration to Prosecute Roeder Under Domestic Terrorism
"The absurdity of his defense is insulting and dangerous to women, but it also reveals his terrorist methodology using murder to accomplish his political goals," said NOW President Terry O'Neill. "It is precisely this unrepentant domestic terrorism -- and those who fund it -- that must be stopped or else we will see more clinic violence and people will be killed," said O'Neill.

Abstinence-Only Education Shouldn't Make the Cut

Women everywhere need the Senate to support comprehensive sex education programs, not ideological crusades.
